Get Date

[mcgann]

Does anyone know how to get the date to 2 characters ie 2006 would be 06. this has been baffling me for a while now. Any help is much appreciated

Use the ToString() method of the DateTime object with a pattern argument that includes "yy" for a two-character year... something like this:

DateTime theDate = System.DateTime.Now;
String dateAsString = theDate.ToString("dd-MMM-yy");
